Description

A young man in search of a fresh start, William Blake (Depp) embarks on an exciting journey to a new town...never realizing the danger that lies ahead. But when a heated love triangle ends in double murder, Blake finds himself a wanted man, running scared - until a mysterious loner teaches him to face the dangers that follow a "dead man." With an outstanding supporting cast including Gabriel Byrne (TV's "In Treatment") and Robert Mitchum (CAPE FEAR), DEAD MAN is another motion picture triumph from filmmaker Jim Jarmusch.

[The] metaphysical context benefits enormously from the haunting musical themes that Neil Young wrote, underlining the film's psychedelic/apocalyptic edge, and from the stunning black-and-white camera work of Robby Muller.

Blake and Nobody meander through a wilderness as shrubby and nondescript as a '50s B horror movie, all to the accompaniment of an echoey Neil Young guitar score that sounds like something Wayne Campbell made up in his basement.

Coy to a fault, the movie collapses under its own weight with 90 minutes to go, despite Robby MÃuller's impressive black-and-white photography, which puts the film on a higher artistic plane than other equally unbearable movies.

I don't mean to dismiss Dead Man as worthless, or meaningless. Jarmusch just happens to express himself in a deadpan manner that just happens to have no appeal for me whatsoever. Of course, I only say this because he is an "artist."
